<h3 id="Passing_arguments_to_..._parameters">Passing arguments to <code>...</code> parameters</h3>
<p>
If <code>f</code> is variadic with final parameter type <code>...T</code>,
then within the function the argument is equivalent to a parameter of type
<code>[]T</code>. At each call of <code>f</code>, the argument
passed to the final parameter is
a new slice of type <code>[]T</code> whose successive elements are
the actual arguments, which all must be <a href="#Assignability">assignable</a>
to the type <code>T</code>. The length of the slice is therefore the number of
arguments bound to the final parameter and may differ for each call site.
If <code>f</code> is <a href="#Function_types">variadic</a> with a final
parameter <code>p</code> of type <code>...T</code>, then within <code>f</code>
the type of <code>p</code> is equivalent to type <code>[]T</code>.
If <code>f</code> is invoked with no actual arguments for <code>p</code>,
the value passed to <code>p</code> is <code>nil</code>.
Otherwise, the value passed is a new slice
of type <code>[]T</code> with a new underlying array whose successive elements
are the actual arguments, which all must be <a href="#Assignability">assignable</a>
to <code>T</code>. The length and capacity of the slice is therefore
the number of arguments bound to <code>p</code> and may differ for each
call site.

within <code>Greeting</code>, <code>who</code> will have the value
